Gairrhydd went to the Guardian's student media awards on Wednesday 25th and we didn't leave empty handed! But we didn't win either, shame.

Excuse the boring picture, unfortunately the photos of the night itself are either hard to make out because of the amount of dry ice they decided to pump into the place or are well, a little, uncivilised.

It was a raucous night at Proud in Camden largely due to the amount of free booze available which was being necked by nervous nominees as if their lives depended on it, including us lot. Us lot, from Cardiff had gairrhydd up for best paper and Quench up for best magazine, which won last year.

But alas, neither came out on top. Gairrhydd was pipped to the post by The Leeds Student but we did claim runner-up so still got our moment with Colin Murrary up on stage...reward enough some might say.

About Me

I got my first taste of writing when I spent ten weeks as a reporter and photographer on Central American newspaper Honduras This Week. It was not exactly a conventional gap year! Having contributed to national newspapers and magazines, BBC news, and a variety of arts and culture blogs I can now be found working as a writer and editor at a fantastic creative agency in London.
IWAOS will continue to be a place where I publish my sensible and not-so-sensible writings....I hope you like it.
